Description
Hi I have used Virtualbox for quite sometime now but consider myself a newbie. I recently got a new Laptop which has NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Graphics Card. I have tried and tried to load Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.1 into Virtualbox but no matter what I do I continually receive "Check Your Video Drivers - Your system is currently running without Video acceleration". I have followed all the suggestions on the Forums regarding this issue and as you can see followed the suggestion to load a Beta version as it may solve the problem but all to no avail. I have loaded Linux Mint MATE 20.1 without any problems. But more importantly I have installed VMware Workstation and installed Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon with no problems what so ever. Also If I install Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.1 in a separate partition and dual boot it works OK. So is there a problem with Virtuabox. Please advise Kind Regards Arthur Howard
This is likely the same core issue as #20513. Try again with version 6.1.28 or later and see if it doesn't behave better.
